When you're shooting a show, invariably you get to the stage andfind that you have, for instance, three lines, one per character in theroom...and you're trying to get them out the door, and it moves betterif you give one line to one character and the other two to the othercharacter. That sometimes happens. But rarely. In the Garibaldi's yellcase, it was written as a quick shot, he yells and we're out. Thedirector wanted to extend the shot a bit, visually. I wasn't in thestudio at the time, so Jerry improvised a series of yells.

This sort of thing is *extremely* rare on the show; the actors anddirectors know they *cannot* change dialogue on the set without approvalfrom me or Larry. On any given script, no more than about 3-6 lines getmodified for staging purposes once we get to the set. And always withapproval required. This is an absolute, hard and fast rule. The onlyreason the Garibaldi thing happened is that they figured it was just ayell, so nothing could get messed up story-wise (which is the primaryreason this is so strict; change one word in a line and it could screwup plot points three episodes down the road) by having him yell a fewspecific lines. If I'd been there for that scene, I would've written himsomething a little less reminiscent of "Aliens."
